Working on a new area map for my homebrew setting.

Slowly getting the hang of drawing mountains, you can probably see the progress. I'm pretty happy with the fjords, and the colour scheme so far.

Wellness Database

Health tips for laypeople have been one of my minor journalistic lines of business, so I was delighted to see a manuscript of the Tacuinum Sanitatis arrive online in full color this week on the Vatican Library portal. Vat.lat.2427 could be described as a wellness database, with a 380-row lookup table to check compatibility between foods and ailments. It did not serve to educate doctors, but rather to inform wealthy patients who desired to second-guess their doctors. It is based on the Taqwīm as‑siḥḥah تقويم الصحة ("Maintenance of Health"), an 11th-century Arab medical treatise by a Christian doctor of Baghdad, Ibn Butlan. See Wikipedia. This and its companion codex Vat.lat.2426 (both date from the 14th century) arrange all this tabular material in pretty red-and-blue lattices:

This presentation seems to pre-date the absolute de-luxe versions that started coming out in Italy in about 1380 with lushly painted miniatures of country life, gardens and stately homes, the lifestyle edition so to speak. In all there are 41 new manuscripts at the Library portal:

whoa mate i didn't come on your blog and start bitching, that post has like a thousand notes its going to collect commentary. basically your post was about monosexual privilege, which is a term made up to bring attention to biphobia within the lgbtqa+. like white privilege is about racism. i was just saying that people talking about privilege detracts from the actual issue. my beef is with the terminology, not your personal experiences. sorry if i offended, completely unintentional.

monosexual privilege is not real, lesbians are not privileged for not wanting to fuck men
